I spent the last couple of weekends cleaning off my bookshelves and getting rid of over 1000 books. My local public library Friends group was the beneficiary of 25 full grocery bags of books I have no intention of ever reading again.

Now I can finally see and organize the books that I have not read yet and, maybe, finally have a chance to read something I own. I have only 9 review books on my physical stack (and 6 on my Kindle) to read before Jan. 1.

I can't wait to browse my own shelves for great stories. Here is my complete print assortment of young adult books that I have not had a chance to read.

The Big Picture

First Half of the Alphabet

Last Half of the Alphabet

As you can see, I have plenty of choices. I have also piled the books as high as I can without triggering an avalanche and filled the shelves to their capacity. I won't be buying any print YA books until I can safely add them to my collection.

Do you see any "must read now" books in the stack? Which ones should I begin with?

I am a school library/media specialist for a small school district in Southeast Minnesota.
I love reading adult, YA and Middle Grade paranormals, science fiction/fantasy, and mysteries. I am also a fan of adult romances and romantic suspense. I just love reading!
I maintain two book blogs. Ms. Martin Teaches Media is used to blather about the YA books I read. Inside of a Dog is my home for the adult books I read.

My Review Policy

Beginning January 1, 2012, I will no longer be accepting self-published books for review.

If I accept your book, I will agree to read, review, and post the review prior to the book's publication date only if I receive the book a minimum of 21 days before the book is published. Books arriving later than that will be reviewed as they fit into my review schedule.
